Cool & Creepy Halloween Decorations

DIY your own d?cor to bring spookiness to every corner of your house.

Recycled Haunted Houses

Recycle and reuse old newspaper and milk cartons by turning them into a spooky ghost town.

What you'll need: empty cardboard milk cartons, newspaper, cardstock or watercolor paper, pens and paint of your choice, glue stick, craft glue, candy, tape

Make it: Thoroughly rinse and dry milk cartons, and then cover cartons with newspaper. Once the newspaper is glued on, paint windows and doors onto cardstock and attach them to the front of the milk cartons -- you can add as much detail as you like. For an extra surprise, fill the cartons with candy and let your kids break into them after Halloween. Make a whole village, and display on your dining table as a great Halloween centerpiece!
